Generations

We are responsible for our own generation and for what we hand off to the next generation. To be a make a difference for this generation and the next...What a awesome challenge and inspiring goal.

Look at these two verses in the Bible and note the contrast.

"After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the LORD nor what he had done for Israel." Judges 2:10

"I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also." 1 Tim. 1:5

What will the next generation receive as a legacy from this one? How good will be be at passing the baton on? What skills and factors are necessary for a solid baton pass? These are the questions that will determine the faithfulness of this generation to our calling.
